http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729613i love bandon for an open or PGA venue but didn’t mention it because it’s too spread out to handle the crowds. it’d be great on TV and for the golf, but struggle with spectator’s aspect.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729611You are right. Tway won with the holeout at Inverness over Norman in 86. Azinger beat Norman at Inverness but not on a holeout.

yes, and he hadn’t shaved all week. looks like he’s coming off a bender and was like, “fuck it, i got this sho.”

i was rooting for him to fold the entire tournament (love vijay) and i remember him hitting that shot and converting to his side instantly. “fuck it” describes it PERFECTLY.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729608Rory as Norman is not too far off. Kind of like Norman but with positive mojo. He’ll probably win more majors but less tour events.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729601Rory’s swing is not exactly airtight. It can get long and that invokes lack of control. He also only has one type of iron shot. Full bore. He lacks a 3/4 shot. Presently, there will be gaps when that swing or make-up fails him. His putter is not iron-clad either.

When on though, his overall game has proven he doesn’t need much else. It’ll be a conondrum for him to debate whether to tinker with his swing (I dont think he should). Just needs to practice putting more.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729600tiger’s bunker shot at the canadian open is overrated in my opinion because…a) it was the canadian open and he’s tiger fucking woods and b) didn’t even count as a GIR.

i hope steve lowry’s from pebble a couple years ago is on that…hanging lie, sunday going toe to toe with vijay, pebble with amateurs…that bunker shot was as tough as it got and lowry, a no-name journeyman, pulled it off.

best one ive seen other than tiger’s. luke’s from the 2011 masters was pretty fucking great too.

best of all time, and i don’t think there’s video of this on the internet, is seve’s FW from a 240 in a bunker in the 1983 ryder cup.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729597I prefer Southern Hills for US Open because of weather. The heat in August has too much effect when they play there in August.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729595Here’s my top five shots I’ve seen. Some could be greater per se but a lot of this is based on the stakes, execution and my rooting interest at the time.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729593ill…i never mentioned drinking, but id agree rory’s got some of arnie’s personality. id liken him more to agassi in tennis…rory’ll get his head on straight in his 30’s and always be mentioned amongst the elite with intermittent periods of dominance that could’ve been even greater.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729592The long players took Southern Hills apart with irons off the tee. That’s my knock against it. I’d be open to it, as the design is not tricked up, per se.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729591spencer – i don’t know that it’s def b/c of drinking, but it seems that he has a lot in common with Darren Clark. Very likeable player, who works hard, but doesn’t naturally possess that killer instinct.

Jack, Hogan, and Tiger all had a bitter side to them that contributed to their dominance. i think Rory is more similar to Arnie, which isn’t a bad thing.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729590Okay it says Valhalla in 2014. I’m there. Whistling Straits would be better served as a US Open venue, but there’d be concerns of it’s readyness in June. So the PGA makes more sense.

Personally, Constantino Rocca’s insane bomb of a putt to make it a playoff in the ’95 British will always be up there.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729587i thought southern hills was a phenomenal venue for the pga. that was one of my favorite tourneys of the decade.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729586I think Whistling Straits is validated as a PGA Championship venue. It’s just terrible real-world architecture and a waste every other day of it’s existence when the event isnt there.

I am outside the norm in that I like Valhalla. I fully intend to attend the next major there. The rest of the PGA Championship courses, WOOF.

http://thebiglead.com/?p=190396#comment-729585Payne was gutted back at Olympic the prior year, so for him to hang in at Pinehurst was great. I think at Olympic he split a fairway on 17 or 18 on Sunday, it went into a bad divot, and it cost him.

Before leaving the range Sunday at Pinehurst, he took 3 shots from divots, just in case. Sure enough, it happened and he hit a good shot.

Well, we could add Pinehurst (omitted in error), and give you either a Bethpage/WF combo. So that’d be 6 plus two wild cards, you could have a US Open at Pebble every 8 years. No need to validate some of the lesser courses. That 2nd tier I illustrated are so, so, so far removed from the first tier.

I’d rather add some Tour courses like Muirfield, Quail, etc to the rota before going back to them.

i like your idea…i feel like all the non-us open rota courses should be pga champ courses. instead, the pga would rather go to newly designed courses that just don’t measure up like whistling straits and valhalla.

muirfield and quail hollow are both in line for PGA’s tho, so maybe i should lay off.
